These creamy mini Oreo cheesecakes with dark chocolate whipped cream are chock full of Oreos with an Oreo crust and topped with homemade whipped cream! 
These are probably my new favorite thing to make. While I do love making traditional cheesecakes in springform pans and the whole shebang, but I used to freak out with anticipation, wondering if my cheesecake was going to crack and come out correctly. Sometimes it’s just not worth the anxiety, ha ha! Not to mention the time it takes to prep, bake and cool the cheesecake – it’s pretty much a whole day affair, most of the time spent waiting. I have since perfected my cheesecake technique, but mini desserts are so much more fun. No time commitment required and they’re pretty much fail-proof. Plus, if they do crack a bit on top, just cover it up with some whipped cream, nobody will ever know the difference!
They are so cute and fun for get-togethers, parties or anything you just need a quick dessert. Oreos + cheesecake together are one of my favorite things ever. Topped with some homemade DARK chocolate whipped cream.. I’m sold!
To make this recipe, you’ll begin by preparing an Oreo crust. Nothing too crazy here, just pulse some Oreos and a little melted butter and pack about one tablespoon into each cupcake liner in your lined cupcake pan. There is no need to bake the crust. For the filling, I used my favorite cheesecake recipe and just scaled it down a bit to make exactly 12 mini cheesecakes.
The dark chocolate whipped cream, to me, makes the whole thing! I used dark cocoa powder in my whipped cream but if you don’t have it on hand, you can use regular cocoa powder. The dark is my favorite, though! It adds the perfect chocolate-y touch to these little cheesecakes.
After baking for about 15 minutes, you’ll allow them to cool in the warm oven with the door ajar slightly for about 20 minutes, this prevents cracking. When you expose the hot cheesecakes to cool air right away, it causes them to crack. When they’re done cooling, they’ll need to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours to get nice and cold. Once the cheesecakes have been cooled, you’ll whip up the dark chocolate whipped cream and pipe it on.
These mini Oreo cheesecakes are the perfect make-ahead dessert. They can be easily prepared the night before and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
In a food processor, pulse Oreos until fine. Add butter and pulse until combined. Distribute 1 tbs of Oreo mixture into each muffin liner. Press down with 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup measuring cup for ease.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla and eggs and beat until fully combined. Fold in crushed Oreos by hand. Distribute 2 -3 tbs of cheesecake mixture into prepared cupcake liners. You want it to almost reach the top of the liners. Sprinkle reserved crushed Oreos on top. Bake for 15 minutes or until the centers are just slightly jiggly. When done, turn oven off and open door slightly and allow cheesecakes to cool in the warm oven for 20 minutes. This will prevent cracking. After 20 minutes, place in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, prepare dark chocolate whipped cream. Beat heavy cream until thickened. Add vanilla extract. Add dark cocoa powder and powdered sugar and beat until fully combined. Pipe onto chilled cheesecakes.

WOW this dessert is my dream come true!!
Looks like the perfect dessert for my chocoholic family!
Mini cheesecakes all the way! I hate slicing into cheesecake and these individual ones make it so much easier to serve!
You had me at Oreo! I’ve got the perfect event to make these for!
Seriously, these could be quiet dangerous in my house! Delish!
What an awesome idea! These look far less stressful to make than a regular cheesecake. Plus who doesn’t love mini desserts?!
Hi! I’m a Japanese Single Mom living in Denver, I found your article to be soooo Usefull!
I am 61 yrs. old. I have been using Lifecell All-in-One Anti-aging Treatment for about 4 years. I use it as my day cream. I have tried many very expensive face creams and Lifecell is still the best! Aside from its anti-aging benefits ¨C fewer wrinkles, firms & tones, evens out my skin tone ( I am prone to skin pigments), it is a great make-up base. It is also great for travel because it is All-in-One skincare. I am sure a lot more women have great reviews. Their customer is excellent via email & via phone. Thank you, LifeCell for great product & company.
I had some very expressive fine lines on my forehead and I really did not like the way I looked. I tried several products but unfortunately, they made the matters worse by leaving me with breakouts and subsequently some ugly spots on my face. This really gave a tough blow to my self-esteem. I stopped trying out other creams but when my cousin started telling me about lifecell and how good it was, I had no other choice but to try my hands on it. I purchased it and after applying it I noticed that the spots were fading away and my face was becoming very smooth. Also, the fine lines on my forehead were not very expressive. I just love how this product works and am going to use it for a long time; it¡¯s also a good moisturizer.
Thanks! Awesome fix! Great “job” for my B-I-L!
